Dr. Walraven is one of the best Professors this college offers. He described Psych140 as a "15 week long seizure" which is why there is no final or midterm. Expect to focus on one unit at a time. There is a paper per week, less than one page, and a test each week. It is well worth your time to take at least one of his classes.

I'm currently taking PYSCH 140 with him as a freshman and he makes my first year not so bad. He's an awesome teacher and really knows what he's talking about. You'll enjoy coming to class.

I can't believe he is still teaching. I had three different courses of his in 1971 and 1972. He is a good instructor but a little different in some aspects. Wow! Can't believe he is still around after 40 years.

Comment:

Great professor, loves what he does and enjoys sharing his knowledge. The only complaint I can levy is that sometimes he explains things on such a level that I guarantee he's going above the heads of everyone in the class. I'm not sure if he realizes it or not. Overall a great teacher and a very interesting person.

Awesome, if all teachers could be this good, I would never want to graduate. If you do not take Dr. Walraven for at least one class you are missing out on one of the best instructors of all time. I hope to take all of his classes!

Mike was the best prof. I had over the course of completing 3 degrees. I was at JCC in the 1970's and I still stop by and visit when I'm in the area.

The most amazing professor I've ever had. He truly wants his students to succeed and will do what he can to help you. Take one of his classes if you can, even if you don't need to graduate. You won't regret it :)

Wonderful wonderful class, I would pay to take all the classes that he teaches! Never a dull moment, and he is smarter than most people I've ever met. Involved in EVERYTHING under the sun and has the strangest humor that appeals to everyone. I think he's been teaching forever...

Dr. Walraven is amazing. This is the third class that I've had with him, and I am considering a fourth even though it's not required for me. He is super nice and is fair, plus he has great respect of women. :)
